- Liebestraum No. 3 – Liszt. The quintessential Romantic piano miniature. Listen, and feel calmed by those repeated arpeggios and shifting harmonies... Liszt - Liebestraum No. 3 (Love Dream)
- The Swan – Saint-Saëns. Arguably the most famous of Saint-Saëns’ The Carnival of the Animals is No. 13 ‘The Swan’. Scored for two pianos and a solo cello, its calming melody represents the bird’s effortless gliding, while the rolling piano chords paint a musical picture of the swan’s hidden feet, paddling furiously under the water.
- Air on a G String – Bach. A gentle, heartbeat-like pulse is the key to this beautiful piece – the slow movement of the Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D. And because it’s Bach, you can be sure the melody’s going to be pretty good too.
- Wiegenlied – Brahms. The world’s most famous lullaby melody – you can’t help but sing ‘Go to sleep, go to sleep’ along with it. Is it bedtime yet? Johannes Brahms - Wiegenlied (Lullaby)
- Water Music by George Frederick Handel. What perhaps is not commonly known is that Water Music is not a single suite but three. The order of these suites is also something of a debate, but commonly they are played beginning with the F major Suite (HWV 3480, followed by the D major Suite (HWV 349) and lastly, the G major Suite (HWV 350).
- The Blue Danube Waltz (Op. 314) by Johann Strauss II. Equal in fame to Handel’s Water Music, Strauss’s Blue Danube waltz is one of the most performed waltzes ever composed.
- La Mer by Claude Debussy. Completed in 1905 Debussy took around a year and a half to finish this score. Debussy was a slow, methodical composer who was highly critical of his work.
- Jeux d’eau by Maurice Ravel. People often draw parallels between Franz Liszt’s Jeux d’eau a la Villa d’Este and Au bord d’une source, but my feeling is that even if this was an inspiration for Ravel, he writes in a way Liszt simply does not.
- Camille Saint-Saëns – Carnival of the Animals. Camille Saint-Saëns’ ‘grand zoological fantasy’ is beautiful, funny, and clever all at once. ‘The Swan’, perhaps the best known movement, is scored for two pianos and a cello solo.
- Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky – The Nutcracker. From the elegant ‘Waltz of the Flowers’ to the magical ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’, the score of Tchaikovsky’s enchanting ballet is a feast of wonderful melodies.
- Sergei Prokofiev – Peter and the Wolf. If it’s famous names you’re after, Prokofiev’s symphonic fairytale for children has been narrated by some of the best in the business.
- Ludwig van Beethoven – Für Elise. Beethoven’s Bagatelle No.25 in A minor is rarely referred to in such grandiose terms. Instead, most classical music lovers know and refer to it simply by its nickname, ‘Für Elise’.
